Worktop repair near Harford

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

About our worktop repair in Harford

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and chips on edges and corners, on laminate, quartz and granite & marble.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Harford and across Devon.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills immediately

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

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

Common problems we fix in Harford

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Common reasons people in Harford contact us include:

  • Chipped corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Harford

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our full price list.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Harford and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Harford

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
