Worktop repair in Great Glen without replacing anything

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips on edges and corners, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Great Glen

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Gouges in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Great Glen questions

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
