Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Worktop repair in Ford without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include a chipped edge and knife marks, on quartz, granite & marble and laminate.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Your questions about worktop repair in Ford

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

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.

Are there extra charges for Ford?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain 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. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Ford

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Knife marks
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Ford

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ford. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
