Worktop repair in Fakenham

About our worktop repair in Fakenham

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. If you’re dealing with chips in quartz or granite and dents and gouges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit 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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

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

Materials we work on in Fakenham

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fakenham. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
