Our hiring checklist

Worktop repair in Standon Green End without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most often call us about gouges in the surface and chips near the sink.

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Standon Green End questions

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Standon Green End and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hertfordshire.

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.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

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

What worktop repair costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
