How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Your questions about worktop repair in Great Stambridge

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Great Stambridge?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Stambridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairing versus replacing in Great Stambridge

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Stambridge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
