Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

How we handle worktop repair in Car Colston

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and a damaged sink edge, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Car Colston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Car Colston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Signs you need worktop repair in Car Colston

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • A chipped edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Car Colston. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
