Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

What we’re called out for in Ivegill

Most chips are on edges and corners, generally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped edge
  • Dents and gouges

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ivegill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Ivegill

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
