What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Long Whatton. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Long Whatton

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Long Whatton questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Long Whatton.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Landlord and trade work in Long Whatton

If you manage property in Long Whatton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

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