Worktop repair for Kelvedon Hatch homes

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kelvedon Hatch

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

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Kelvedon Hatch

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kelvedon Hatch use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Kelvedon Hatch

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you come to Kelvedon Hatch?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kelvedon Hatch. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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