Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Stansted Mountfitchet: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Stansted Mountfitchet

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
