Do you need worktop repair in Drayford?
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

- Chips in quartz or granite

- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A dent from a dropped pan

Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
