Worktop repair in Lower Basildon without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and damage from fitting or building work.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lower Basildon. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Basildon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Common problems we fix in Lower Basildon

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
