Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Little Wigborough

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Little Wigborough

Do you come to Little Wigborough?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Little Wigborough from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Little Wigborough?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
