What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Milnthorpe

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Milnthorpe?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Milnthorpe, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
