How we handle worktop repair in Rivar

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new kitchen and a chipped edge, in quartz, solid wood and laminate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Rivar

Do you work in Rivar?

We do. We send a technician to Rivar for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

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