What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Maidenhall Estate
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
