Worktop repair in Hay Green, done in place

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

When to call us in Hay Green

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Knife marks
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage to a stone worktop

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Your questions about worktop repair in Hay Green

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How much does worktop repair cost in Hay Green?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hay Green. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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