Worktop repair at your home in Hale

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with chips in quartz or granite and chips caused during installation, we can help, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

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

Materials we work on in Hale

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Hale, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Hale, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Hale questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

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 work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Trafford.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
