Worktop repair for Reiss homes

Repairing versus replacing in Reiss

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

Why Reiss clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Worktop repair at your home in Reiss

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are chips on edges and corners and chips caused during installation.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found 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. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Most clients in Reiss get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Your questions about worktop repair in Reiss

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reiss use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

What we’re called out for in Reiss

Most chips are on edges and corners, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Dents and gouges
  • Knife marks

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
