Worktop repair near Ellel

What we are called out for in Ellel

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Knife marks
  • Chips near the sink

Choosing a repair company

Worktop repair at your home in Ellel

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage to a stone worktop, we can typically put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Ellel

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Ellel

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ellel. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.

Repairing versus replacing in Ellel

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
