Worktop repair for Elton homes

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Elton. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Elton

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
