Worktop repair in Red Street, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and people most frequently call us about scorch marks from pans and a damaged sink edge.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Red Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Granite and stone

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

Repair or replace in Red Street?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Red Street questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

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.

How much does worktop repair cost in Red Street?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
