Worktop repair in Cray's Pond without replacing anything

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Common call-outs are for dents and gouges and damage to a stone worktop, on laminate, solid wood and quartz.

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

What we are called out for in Cray's Pond

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips on edges and corners

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Questions from Cray's Pond

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cray's Pond

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Cray's Pond, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cray's Pond. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
