Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

Honest limits

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

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need worktop repair in Northaw?

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage to a stone worktop

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about worktop repair in Northaw

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Northaw?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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 children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Northaw

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Northaw. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
