Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

What we’re called out for in Hartley

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

Common reasons people in Hartley contact us are:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A dent from a dropped pan

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Hartley customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Quartz

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

FAQs for Hartley

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does worktop repair cost in Hartley?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?

We work UK-wide, so Hartley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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 frequently lifts.
