Your questions about worktop repair in Sproughton
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you come to Sproughton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sproughton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What else we do in Sproughton
Landlord and trade work in Sproughton
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sproughton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Sproughton
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Sproughton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Materials and what they mean for the repair
