Need worktop repair in Kingston Stert?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we handle worktop repair in Kingston Stert

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chipped corners and a chipped quartz edge, in quartz, solid wood and laminate.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kingston Stert. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Kingston Stert

Edges and corners chip most frequently, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips near the sink

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingston Stert as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Kingston Stert, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around 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 can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

What we work on

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