Book worktop repair in Dilham

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

About our worktop repair in Dilham

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We are often asked to fix chips near the sink and gouges in the surface, on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dilham and across Norfolk.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dilham. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR28 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dilham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NR28 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
