Repairing versus replacing in Cilmery

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cilmery. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Cilmery

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A chipped edge

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
