Trusted worktop repair in Greatness

Worktop repair in Greatness without replacing anything

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s damage to a stone worktop and burns from hot pans, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
