You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you are dealing with a chipped quartz edge and knife marks, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Codicote Bottom

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

How the visit works

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. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
