  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

About our worktop repair in Silver End

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a damaged sink edge and scorch marks from pans.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Silver End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Silver End

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Silver End is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Silver End. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us
