Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

Chopping boards prevent scratches
Oil wooden tops regularly
Take care with heavy pans near edges
Keep joints and edges dry

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Worktop repair in Kettering, done in place

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new kitchen and a damaged sink edge.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

FAQs for Kettering

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

Laminate that has blown or swollen
Discolouration deep in quartz
Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

Whether we combine several jobs
How easy the damage is to reach
The material and finish
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

Where you are, by postcode
Any details about the material
A wider photo showing the whole worktop
A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Kettering, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
Burnt or loose material is cut back.
We fill and shape the damaged area.
The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

Point us to the nearest place to park
Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
