Worktop repair in East Hanningfield, done in place

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and chips caused during installation.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in East Hanningfield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills immediately

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common questions in East Hanningfield

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in East Hanningfield?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
