Worktop repair near Horam

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

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

How we handle worktop repair in Horam

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. We work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped quartz edge and scratches and knife marks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Horam as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horam

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horam use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Horam, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

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

Common problems we fix in Horam

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped quartz edge

Questions from Horam

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
