Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are knife marks and a chipped quartz edge.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Signs you need worktop repair in Overthorpe

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Common reasons people in Overthorpe contact us include:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Knife marks
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Overthorpe

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Overthorpe?

We do. We send a technician to Overthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Overthorpe

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price.

Advice

What affects the price in Overthorpe

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Overthorpe, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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