Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Roborough

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How much does worktop repair cost in Roborough?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them

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

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
