When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Your questions about worktop repair in Elemore Vale

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How much does worktop repair cost in Elemore Vale?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Sunderland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elemore Vale

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elemore Vale as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What affects the price in Elemore Vale

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
