Trusted worktop repair in New Mills

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

How we handle worktop repair in New Mills

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s dents and gouges and damage to a stone worktop, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from New Mills

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What affects the price in New Mills

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Laminate

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
