Worktop repair for Kirby Hill homes

Worktop repair at your home in Kirby Hill

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We work on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble, and people most often call us about a chipped quartz edge and chips near the sink.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Kirby Hill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

When to call us in Kirby Hill

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Scorch marks from pans

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally 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.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO51 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Kirby Hill: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Kirby Hill?

We do. We send a technician to Kirby Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What do you need from me?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
