How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills immediately

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Your questions about worktop repair in Smallridge

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What does worktop repair cost?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

When to call us in Smallridge

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Before booking anyone

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace in Smallridge?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
