How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Worktop repair at your home in Litton Cheney

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most often call us about a damaged sink edge and chips caused during installation.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Litton Cheney

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

Repairing versus replacing in Litton Cheney

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Common questions in Litton Cheney

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

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you cover Litton Cheney?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Litton Cheney for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
