10 questions to ask before you book

Worktop repair at your home in Hillside

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are chips caused during installation and chips near the sink.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

What worktop repair costs

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

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about worktop repair in Hillside

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sefton.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillside

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillside use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
