Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Downham. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Downham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What we are called out for in Downham
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A chipped edge
- Gouges in the surface
- A damaged sink edge
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Landlord and trade work in Downham
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Downham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
