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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

FAQs for Hertford Heath

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Do you cover Hertford Heath?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hertford Heath. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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