Choosing a repair company

About our worktop repair in Steeple

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners and a damaged sink edge, in laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Steeple. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Steeple 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.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Steeple: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Steeple?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Steeple. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Steeple use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
