Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Worktop repair in Little Bentley, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and a chipped quartz edge, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Bentley

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Little Bentley

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Little Bentley customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our full price list.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Little Bentley

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

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

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Little Bentley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Little Bentley

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chipped corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Gouges in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Little Bentley: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Little Bentley.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
