Worktop repair for Hartley homes

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Hartley questions

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Are there extra charges for Hartley?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

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

What information do you need?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Hartley

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hartley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
