The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grange Hill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grange Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use a chopping board

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

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

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Granite and stone

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

FAQs for Grange Hill

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
