How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Crook get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Crook: your questions answered

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you come to Crook?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Crook from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking 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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crook

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
