Worktop repair for Cradlehall homes

Worktop repair in Cradlehall, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during installation and dents and gouges.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Cradlehall questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cradlehall, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Repairing versus replacing in Cradlehall

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Cradlehall

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair
