Worktop repair for Stanstead homes

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

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.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should you replace it?

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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

Most customers in Stanstead get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
