Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repairing versus replacing in Irlam

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz

Your questions about worktop repair in Irlam

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Irlam?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Irlam from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Irlam?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
