Worktop repair for Harkstead homes

Worktop repair in Harkstead without replacing anything

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you are dealing with chips on edges and corners and dents and gouges, we can help, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

What we’re called out for in Harkstead

Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A heat mark or burn

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Harkstead

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harkstead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Harkstead questions

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Harkstead included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Harkstead?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Harkstead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace in Harkstead?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
