Worktop repair for Chalk Hill homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our worktop repair in Chalk Hill

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Typical jobs include cuts and scratches in the surface and dents and gouges, on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Your questions about worktop repair in Chalk Hill

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Chalk Hill?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

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