Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. We don’t 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.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hurworth Place as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Hurworth Place

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Hurworth Place?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hurworth Place from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hurworth Place. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.

What to look for in a quote

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
