DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Materials we work on in Hargate

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Hargate: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you need worktop repair in Hargate?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Common reasons people in Hargate contact us are:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped edge

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What affects the price in Hargate

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Landlord and trade work in Hargate

If you manage property in Hargate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
