The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Ringmore

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What we are called out for in Ringmore

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chipped corners

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
