When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Worktop repair at your home in Ryall

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about a heat mark or burn and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

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

Granite and stone

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

What we’re called out for in Ryall

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped quartz edge

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for Ryall

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Clean spills right away
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole worktop

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.
