About our worktop repair in Great Canfield

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about chipped corners and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Great Canfield and across Essex.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common questions in Great Canfield

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How we price worktop repair

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you need worktop repair in Great Canfield?

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chipped corners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
