Worktop repair for Norman Cross homes

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Norman Cross, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Worktop repair at your home in Norman Cross

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s a heat mark or burn and a chipped quartz edge, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Norman Cross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

There are no surprise 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.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Norman Cross

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chipped corners
  • Dents and gouges
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Norman Cross

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills immediately

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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