FAQs for Kells

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you come to Kells?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kells for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Kells?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How we handle worktop repair in Kells

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s a dent from a dropped pan and knife marks, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we are called out for in Kells

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kells as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

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

Solid surface

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA28 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
