What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Fifehead Magdalen

  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble

Repair or replace in Fifehead Magdalen?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need worktop repair in Fifehead Magdalen

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
