DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elkesley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Elkesley

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

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

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

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Questions from Elkesley

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
