Worktop repair in Monton without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips near the sink, on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Monton

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Your questions about worktop repair in Monton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
