About our worktop repair in Hilcote

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and people most often call us about dents and gouges and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Hilcote

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Hilcote?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Hilcote

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Common reasons people in Hilcote contact us are:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips near the sink
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hilcote

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hilcote as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
