Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean spills right away
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Worktop repair in South Earlswood, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and damage from fitting or building work.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about worktop repair in South Earlswood

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in South Earlswood

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Granite and stone

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

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in South Earlswood

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
