10 questions to ask before you book

Worktop repair in Inner Avenue, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We work on granite & marble, solid wood and laminate, and people most frequently call us about gouges in the surface and scratches and knife marks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Inner Avenue, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. 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.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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