Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Worktop repair at your home in Little Bardfield

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid wood, quartz and laminate, and people most frequently call us about gouges in the surface and chips caused during installation.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

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

Advice

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Bardfield

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills straight away

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
