About our worktop repair in Evington

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We are often asked to fix chips on edges and corners and damage from fitting or building work, in laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about worktop repair in Evington

Are there extra charges for Evington?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Evington

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repairing versus replacing in Evington

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
