Choosing a repair company

About our worktop repair in Northwood Green

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with a heat mark or burn and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help, on granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

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

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Common questions in Northwood Green

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens next?

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
