Worktop repair at your home in Chalton

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include damage to a stone worktop and a heat mark or burn, in granite & marble, quartz and laminate.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Chalton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Chalton

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Choosing a repair company

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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

Common questions in Chalton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When can you do it?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Wipe up spills quickly

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
