Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Dry around the sink and joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
What we’re called out for in Ford
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped edge
- Knife marks
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips in quartz or granite
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
What affects the price in Ford
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Ford
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Ford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
