Worktop repair in Henlow

How we handle worktop repair in Henlow

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are a heat mark or burn and dents and gouges.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we’re called out for in Henlow

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Questions from Henlow

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in Henlow

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What affects the price in Henlow

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Henlow get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
