Worktop repair in Healey without replacing anything

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped quartz edge and chips near the sink, in solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Healey

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Knife marks

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Healey: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Healey?

We don’t 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.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Granite and stone

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Healey. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Healey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
