How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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 pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire worktop

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Leam Lane Estate

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leam Lane Estate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Leam Lane Estate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How the visit works

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
