Your questions about worktop repair in Chilton

Generally. A photo lets us check.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Chilton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Choosing a repair company

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Chilton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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