Worktop repair near Edgehead

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Worktop repair at your home in Edgehead

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair granite & marble, laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are damage to a stone worktop and chipped corners.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Edgehead

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Edgehead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Edgehead

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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips near the sink
  • Knife marks
  • A chipped edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Edgehead. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

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

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can tenants book a repair?

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
