Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, 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.

Worktop repair in Crofty, done in place

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for damage around the sink cut-out and a heat mark or burn, across solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need worktop repair in Crofty?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Chipped corners
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Crofty. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Crofty

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Quartz
  • Laminate
