What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Churchgate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Churchgate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Signs you need worktop repair in Churchgate

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chipped corners

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about worktop repair in Churchgate

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
