Worktop repair near Colyford

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Worktop repair in Colyford without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about chips in quartz or granite and damage around the sink cut-out.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Colyford

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Colyford

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

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