Worktop repair at your home in Ednam

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you’re dealing with damage from fitting or building work and a dent from a dropped pan, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Materials we work on in Ednam

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Repair or replace in Ednam?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

See our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ednam as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Ednam

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Do you come to Ednam?

We do. We send a technician to Ednam for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What affects the price in Ednam

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ednam. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • The material, if you know it

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 will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Do you need worktop repair in Ednam?

  • Knife marks
  • Chips near the sink

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included
