About our worktop repair in Great Barr

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Our repair technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are knife marks and gouges in the surface.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Common questions in Great Barr

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Great Barr. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your B43 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Great Barr

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Great Barr

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. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Great Barr customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our full price list.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
