DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Cheriton: your questions answered

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Repair or replace in Cheriton?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

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.

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

What affects the price in Cheriton

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
