Worktop repair in Great Maplestead

Worktop repair in Great Maplestead without replacing anything

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. Common call-outs are for scorch marks from pans and a dent from a dropped pan, in laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Great Maplestead

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Great Maplestead. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Maplestead as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Great Maplestead

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

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 is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
