How we handle worktop repair in Standish

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include damage from fitting or building work and damage to a stone worktop, on quartz, granite & marble and laminate.

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

How to compare quotes

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Standish questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Landlord and trade work in Standish

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Standish

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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What affects the price in Standish

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
