How we handle worktop repair in Harman's Cross

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Our repair technicians work on laminate, quartz and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about a damaged sink edge and knife marks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Harman's Cross

How much does worktop repair cost in Harman's Cross?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Harman's Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Harman's Cross. The price depends on:

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

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.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Harman's Cross?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
