DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep wood oiled

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Landlord and trade work in Milton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need worktop repair in Milton?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Common questions in Milton

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Highland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Milton

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IV18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
