The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We’re often asked to fix knife marks and chips near the sink, in solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Horningtoft and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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

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

Common questions in Horningtoft

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

How it works

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 what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
