Choosing a repair company

Worktop repair in Sibley's Green without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and cuts and scratches in the surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Sibley's Green

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

What affects the price in Sibley's Green

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

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.

Sibley's Green: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Sibley's Green?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sibley's Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
