How we handle worktop repair in St Stephen

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and scratches and knife marks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for St Stephen

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in St Stephen?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PL26 postcode.

How much do I need to move?

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

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

Do you come to St Stephen?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to St Stephen. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

What affects the price in St Stephen

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

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in St Stephen

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
