Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Purleigh

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Purleigh included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need worktop repair in Purleigh

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Dents and gouges

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
