Worktop repair near New Basford

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

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

Worktop repair in New Basford, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents and gouges and scorch marks from pans.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why New Basford customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price worktop repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

FAQs for New Basford

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How much does worktop repair cost in New Basford?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes New Basford. Prices do not change with location.

Common problems we fix in New Basford

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Knife marks
  • A chipped edge
  • Dents and gouges
