Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

What we can’t put right

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

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hopton on Sea. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
