Worktop repair near Caxton

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills immediately

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How we handle worktop repair in Caxton

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our technicians work on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are chips in quartz or granite and gouges in the surface.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Caxton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Questions from Caxton

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Quartz

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