  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairing versus replacing in Kempston West End

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Kempston West End: your questions answered

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

Can landlords book you?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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 we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kempston West End. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire worktop

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
