Worktop repair in East Challow

Repair or replace in East Challow?

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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
