Worktop repair in Marden without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for damage around the sink cut-out and cuts and scratches in the surface, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

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

FAQs for Marden

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Marden. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
