Trusted worktop repair in Howgill

Worktop repair in Howgill, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and chips in quartz or granite.

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

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

Common problems we fix in Howgill

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • Knife marks

  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What affects the price in Howgill

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Howgill: your questions answered

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
