What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How we handle worktop repair in Handcross

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Handcross questions

Do you work in Handcross?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Handcross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

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

Granite and stone

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips caused during installation

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair
