DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Common questions in Connor Downs

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Connor Downs.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does worktop repair cost in Connor Downs?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you work in Connor Downs?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Connor Downs. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Connor Downs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Connor Downs

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
