Worktop repair in Kempston

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. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kempston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kempston. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Kempston questions

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Do you come to Kempston?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kempston and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Common problems we fix in Kempston

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chipped corners
  • Chips near the sink
  • Knife marks

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Kempston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
