Worktop repair for Crockham Heath homes

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Crockham Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Worktop repair in Crockham Heath, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are a heat mark or burn and gouges in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Crockham Heath get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
