How we handle worktop repair in Prospect

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for burns from hot pans and chips in quartz or granite, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Prospect questions

How much do I need to move?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  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. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting 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 you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Clean spills right away
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Prospect

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Prospect

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

  • Quartz

Repair or replace in Prospect?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
