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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pitstone. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pitstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Your questions about worktop repair in Pitstone

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover Pitstone?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pitstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

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.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

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. An early repair prevents it.
