Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How we handle worktop repair in Shenfield

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We work on granite & marble, laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are knife marks and scorch marks from pans.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Shenfield

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shenfield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Shenfield questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work in Shenfield?

We do. Technicians travel to Shenfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
