Worktop repair at your home in Starston

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during installation and a dent from a dropped pan.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Starston

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Common problems we fix in Starston

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped edge
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Starston, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Starston questions

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you cover Starston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Starston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
