How we handle worktop repair in Fenn Street

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We work on laminate, quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and gouges in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

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

Fenn Street: your questions answered

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Fenn Street

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Do you need worktop repair in Fenn Street?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips caused during installation

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
