Repairs by material

Quartz

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Faulkbourne

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Faulkbourne questions

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

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

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Faulkbourne

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Faulkbourne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
