How we handle worktop repair in Hitcham

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are cuts and scratches in the surface and gouges in the surface.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Do you need worktop repair in Hitcham?

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chipped corners
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scratches and knife marks

Before booking anyone

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Quartz

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

Granite and stone

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

Questions from Hitcham

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hitcham. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Hitcham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
