Worktop repair in Charles, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we are called out for in Charles

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
