Worktop repair in Little Shelford without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid wood and quartz, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and a chipped quartz edge.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Little Shelford as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Little Shelford

If you manage property in Little Shelford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Little Shelford

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Little Shelford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Little Shelford and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What affects the price in Little Shelford

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Little Shelford

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price
