Worktop repair in Lickey Hills

Worktop repair in Lickey Hills without replacing anything

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with damage to a stone worktop and chips near the sink, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Do you need worktop repair in Lickey Hills?

Edges and corners chip most often, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lickey Hills. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lickey Hills. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlord and trade work in Lickey Hills

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Lickey Hills

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you repair quartz?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
