Worktop repair for Orwell homes

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Worktop repair at your home in Orwell

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most often call us about damage from fitting or building work and cuts and scratches in the surface.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional 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 pictures.

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Orwell

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Orwell

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we work on in Orwell

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
