Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Elstree

Do you cover Elstree?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Elstree from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Elstree and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Elstree?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What affects the price in Elstree

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elstree as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elstree. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site

See our pricing.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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