What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Common questions in St Hilary

When can you do it?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How much does worktop repair cost in St Hilary?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

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.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
