Questions from Portwood
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SK1 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Portwood
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chips near the sink
- Dents and gouges
- Chips on edges and corners
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Landlord and trade work in Portwood
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portwood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
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.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
