10 questions to ask before you book

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbiggin

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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 to keep costs down.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we repair

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