Chips in speckled granite tiles filled and colour matched, before and after

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Holdenby

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

How do I book?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NN6 postcode.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Holdenby, and we will reply with a fixed price.
