Worktop repair near Slawston

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Worktop repair in Slawston without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and quartz, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during installation and dents and gouges.

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

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Slawston

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
