Book worktop repair in Staplecross

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

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

Materials we work on in Staplecross

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

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Staplecross, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Staplecross

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Staplecross: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
