How we handle worktop repair in Esh Winning

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are cuts and scratches in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about worktop repair in Esh Winning

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Esh Winning

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When to call us in Esh Winning

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped edge
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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