Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Our hiring checklist

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Your questions about worktop repair in Carterton

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Carterton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you repair quartz?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Carterton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
