Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

How to compare quotes

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Materials we work on in Kneesworth

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kneesworth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Kneesworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Questions from Kneesworth

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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