About our worktop repair in Rumburgh

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. We regularly repair solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are chips on edges and corners and gouges in the surface.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rumburgh

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Rumburgh

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • A chipped edge
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Knife marks

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

FAQs for Rumburgh

Do you cover Rumburgh?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Rumburgh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
