How we handle worktop repair in Marston

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Typical jobs include gouges in the surface and snagging damage in a new kitchen, in solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Marston questions

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

When to call us in Marston

Common reasons people in Marston contact us are:

  • Chipped corners
  • Chips near the sink
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped quartz edge

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marston

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Marston. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
