What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need worktop repair in Great Hallingbury

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

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips near the sink

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

What affects the price in Great Hallingbury

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Great Hallingbury. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
