Trusted worktop repair in Hoxne

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Worktop repair at your home in Hoxne

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or building work and chips in quartz or granite, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hoxne and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Your questions about worktop repair in Hoxne

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

Do you repair quartz?

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Hoxne

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

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
