Worktop repair in Colwall Stone

Worktop repair in Colwall Stone without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are frequently asked to fix a heat mark or burn and a damaged sink edge, on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

FAQs for Colwall Stone

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Colwall Stone?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Colwall Stone?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Colwall Stone and the rest of Herefordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
