Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Printstile

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 isn’t 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 usually the cheaper route.

Signs you need worktop repair in Printstile

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Printstile. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Your questions about worktop repair in Printstile

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Printstile. Prices do not change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
