Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Monkton Heathfield get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Monkton Heathfield: your questions answered

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TA2 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Normally. A photo lets us check.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

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

When to call us in Monkton Heathfield

Edges and corners chip most often, typically from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips near the sink
  • Scorch marks from pans

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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