How we handle worktop repair in Horton

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We’re frequently asked to fix cuts and scratches in the surface and a chipped quartz edge, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common problems we fix in Horton

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Horton

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  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. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Horton. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Horton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Horton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
