Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Inkerman
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

What affects the price in Inkerman

- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inkerman use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What else we do in Inkerman
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
