Worktop repair at your home in Kedleston

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with gouges in the surface and chipped corners, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kedleston and across Derby.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Kedleston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Kedleston

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Kedleston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Kedleston questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Kedleston.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

When to call us in Kedleston

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble

  • Solid wood

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
