A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Minster

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Minster?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How soon can you come?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Are there extra charges for Minster?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Minster

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
