How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Elmesthorpe

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

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

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Materials we work on in Elmesthorpe

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Elmesthorpe

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
