Repairs by material

Quartz

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

Laminate

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common questions in Great Leighs

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Great Leighs?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting 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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Leighs. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Leighs use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
