Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Grotton

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chipped corners
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Dents and gouges

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairing versus replacing in Grotton

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Grotton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Questions from Grotton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
