Worktop repair in Christmas Common

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

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

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Worktop repair in Christmas Common, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about damage around the sink cut-out and chips on edges and corners.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Christmas Common

What do you need from me?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

When to call us in Christmas Common

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

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

How to look after the repair

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

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use a chopping board
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
