About our worktop repair in Mount Bures

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We work on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and damage to a stone worktop.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Mount Bures

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole worktop

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 reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Mount Bures

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you come to Mount Bures?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mount Bures and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace in Mount Bures?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
