Worktop repair in Chesterton

About our worktop repair in Chesterton

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are dents and gouges and damage from fitting or building work.

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

Common questions in Chesterton

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

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

What does worktop repair cost?

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

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

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

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. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chesterton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on
