Worktop repair in Hutton without replacing anything

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. If you’re dealing with damage around the sink cut-out and chipped corners, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Questions from Hutton

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
