Worktop repair near Hawthorn

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Hawthorn customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Worktop repair at your home in Hawthorn

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with a damaged sink edge and knife marks, we can help, on quartz, laminate and granite & marble alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Choosing a repair company

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hawthorn, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawthorn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
