Worktop repair for Etteridge homes

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Clean spills right away

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Worktop repair in Etteridge, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and chipped corners.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Etteridge and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need worktop repair in Etteridge

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Burns from hot pans

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Quartz

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

Granite and stone

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

FAQs for Etteridge

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Landlord and trade work in Etteridge

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Etteridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

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’ll reply with a fixed price.
