Worktop repair at your home in Ridgewell

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for a heat mark or burn and chips caused during installation, in solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ridgewell. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
