Worktop repair in High Roding

About our worktop repair in High Roding

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are knife marks and chips caused during installation.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in High Roding

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are there extra charges for High Roding?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills right away
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. 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.

When to call us in High Roding

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scratches and knife marks

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
