What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

Can you match granite flecks?

How we handle worktop repair in Capel

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are chips in quartz or granite and a heat mark or burn.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
