How we handle worktop repair in Carleton

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include a damaged sink edge and damage to a stone worktop, across solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
We match the colour and pattern by hand.
Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carleton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Carleton

Do you come to Carleton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Carleton and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA11 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

How many items we do on one visit
How easy the damage is to reach
The material and finish
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carleton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

The material, if you know it
A wider photo showing the entire worktop
One sharp close-up of the damage
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
