Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When to call us in Framwellgate Moor

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Framwellgate Moor

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Framwellgate Moor

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
