DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

About our worktop repair in Hickmans Green

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you are dealing with damage from fitting or building work and damage to a stone worktop, we can help.

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Signs you need worktop repair in Hickmans Green

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped edge

Choosing a repair company

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Hickmans Green

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How it works

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
