Elton: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How much does worktop repair cost in Elton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How it 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 pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

We protect the rest of the kitchen.
The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
We fill it and level it with the worktop.
The colour and pattern are built up by hand.

How to prepare

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

How many items we do on one visit
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The material
How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Your postcode, so we can check dates
A clear, close picture of the problem area
One picture of the entire worktop

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Keep a trivet by the hob
Chopping boards prevent scratches
Watch the edges with heavy pans
Do not leave spills to soak in

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Discolouration deep in quartz
Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
