How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use a chopping board
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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 tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about worktop repair in Skelsmergh
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How much does worktop repair cost in Skelsmergh?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.
