How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Common problems we fix in Chilton Lane

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

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

Questions from Chilton Lane

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Chilton Lane. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are there extra charges for Chilton Lane?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chilton Lane. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
