Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price worktop repair

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

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

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gisleham, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

What information do you need?
