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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Frinton-on-Sea, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
