Worktop repair for Felden homes

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we handle worktop repair in Felden

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. If you are dealing with scorch marks from pans and a damaged sink edge, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Felden

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Felden. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Felden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Felden

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
