Worktop repair in Foxholes

Worktop repair at your home in Foxholes

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We work on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are chips in quartz or granite and knife marks.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Foxholes

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Foxholes. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Foxholes

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foxholes

For anyone letting property in or around Foxholes, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
