Repair or replace in Kilby?

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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kilby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kilby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Do you need worktop repair in Kilby?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A damaged sink edge

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Kilby: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you come to Kilby?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kilby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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