DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our worktop repair in Crumbles

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most often call us about a heat mark or burn and a damaged sink edge.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crumbles and across East Sussex.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Crumbles, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Questions from Crumbles

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you come to Crumbles?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Crumbles from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Crumbles. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
