About our worktop repair in Roydon

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include a heat mark or burn and a chipped edge, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Roydon

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

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 are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Clean spills immediately

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlord and trade work in Roydon

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
