How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Worktop repair at your home in Keiss

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s chips in quartz or granite and scorch marks from pans, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

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

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

Questions from Keiss

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically. A photo lets us check.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Keiss?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Keiss for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
