Worktop repair in Hertford

About our worktop repair in Hertford

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for knife marks and damage around the sink cut-out, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hertford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hertford. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hertford

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hertford

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
