Worktop repair at your home in Forward Green

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for chipped corners and knife marks, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Forward Green

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A dent from a dropped pan

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Forward Green

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Your questions about worktop repair in Forward Green

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Forward Green as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Forward Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
