How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Materials we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kniveton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Kniveton: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Do you repair quartz?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you work in Kniveton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kniveton and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Kniveton

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Kniveton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Kniveton

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Scratches and knife marks

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
