How we handle worktop repair in Kingstone

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners and gouges in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Common questions in Kingstone

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Kingstone included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much do I need to move?

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

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Granite and stone

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingstone

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

What affects the price in Kingstone

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kingstone. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Kingstone

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

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
