Worktop repair in Hildersham

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Worktop repair in Hildersham without replacing anything

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation, in quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Hildersham clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hildersham

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
