When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Grimstone

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

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Grimstone: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Grimstone included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work in Grimstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Grimstone and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grimstone

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. 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. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

10 questions to ask before booking

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Grimstone. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
