Worktop repair for East Law homes

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we handle worktop repair in East Law

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on edges and corners and damage from fitting or building work.

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

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 frequently lifts.

What affects the price in East Law

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Law. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole worktop

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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