What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Crockleford Heath

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

What we are called out for in Crockleford Heath

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Knife marks
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Burns from hot pans

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crockleford Heath

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crockleford Heath use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally 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.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Questions from Crockleford Heath

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Crockleford Heath and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
