Choosing a repair company

Worktop repair in Heiton without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you are dealing with a damaged sink edge and burns from hot pans, we can normally put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Common questions in Heiton

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Heiton clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
