Worktop repair in Dudleston Heath

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Dudleston Heath: your questions answered

Do you work in Dudleston Heath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dudleston Heath for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are there extra charges for Dudleston Heath?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What affects the price in Dudleston Heath

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dudleston Heath. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
