Worktop repair for Forden homes

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry

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

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

Worktop repair at your home in Forden

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Typical jobs include chips in quartz or granite and a chipped edge, in solid wood, laminate and quartz.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to compare quotes

Forden: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  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 about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
