Worktop repair for Monkey Street homes

Worktop repair in Monkey Street without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new kitchen and a dent from a dropped pan, in solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

FAQs for Monkey Street

Do you come to Monkey Street?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Monkey Street from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkey Street

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

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

Wood

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

Common problems we fix in Monkey Street

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Monkey Street

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Monkey Street. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Monkey Street, 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.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
