What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. 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.

FAQs for Lambourne End

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Lambourne End

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not 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.

Common problems we fix in Lambourne End

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Common reasons people in Lambourne End contact us include:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped edge
  • Chips near the sink

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
