Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add 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.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Questions from Halls Green

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How we price worktop repair

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Halls Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Halls Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Signs you need worktop repair in Halls Green

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners
  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
