The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Worktop repair in Rabbit's Cross, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid wood and laminate, and people most frequently call us about chips near the sink and burns from hot pans.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Rabbit's Cross

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Rabbit's Cross

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep wood oiled

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Common questions in Rabbit's Cross

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover Rabbit's Cross?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Rabbit's Cross. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Why repair rather than replace?

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 usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • No need to remove anything

Granite and stone

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

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A heat mark or burn
