How we handle worktop repair in Dedham

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. Common call-outs are for cuts and scratches in the surface and chips on edges and corners, in granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Dedham clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

FAQs for Dedham

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills right away
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
