How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
When to call us in Salph End
Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scorch marks from pans
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
FAQs for Salph End
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Salph End?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Salph End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
