What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Landlord and trade work in Crofton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Crofton

Questions from Crofton

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Crofton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
