Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

About our worktop repair in Southside

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. If you are dealing with a heat mark or burn and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

Signs you need worktop repair in Southside

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips caused during installation

The process

From the moment we arrive, 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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Southside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Southside questions

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you cover Southside?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Southside and the rest of Birmingham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Southside. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
