Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  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. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Kempston Hardwick: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kempston Hardwick.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kempston Hardwick, and we will reply with a fixed price.
