Worktop repair in St Helier

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Worktop repair in St Helier without replacing anything

We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s chips in quartz or granite and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in St Helier

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A chipped edge
  • A heat mark or burn

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

St Helier: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
