Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Worktop repair at your home in Ebchester

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s a chipped quartz edge and gouges in the surface, we can typically put it right, on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ebchester, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Ebchester questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Ebchester?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
