Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Hickstead: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

We cover the whole UK, including Hickstead and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repairing versus replacing in Hickstead

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
