What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Your questions about worktop repair in Eight Ash Green

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Eight Ash Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Eight Ash Green and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
