Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Four Elms, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Clean spills immediately

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.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Four Elms questions

Can you match granite flecks?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Four Elms?

We do. We send a technician to Four Elms for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Four Elms included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need worktop repair in Four Elms?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Dents and gouges

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
