About our worktop repair in Forestdale

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new kitchen and burns from hot pans, we can help, on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Forestdale

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Forestdale: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. A photo lets us check.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
