Worktop repair near Hanscombe End

Worktop repair in Hanscombe End, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Whether it’s damage around the sink cut-out and chipped corners, we can help, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hanscombe End

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

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.

What affects the price in Hanscombe End

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Hanscombe End: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price
