Worktop repair in Handsworth Wood, done in place
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We work on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are chips near the sink and damage from fitting or building work.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Landlord and trade work in Handsworth Wood
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Handsworth Wood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
FAQs for Handsworth Wood
Do you cover the entire of Birmingham?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Handsworth Wood
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
