Worktop repair near Hornton

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

Worktop repair at your home in Hornton

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. If you are dealing with damage from fitting or building work and knife marks, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair is not the answer

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Questions from Hornton

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

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 is not 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 worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
