Worktop repair at your home in Eastwood

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need worktop repair in Eastwood?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A chipped edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Burns from hot pans

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills straight away

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.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Eastwood

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Eastwood

Are you accredited?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price
