How we handle worktop repair in Stick Hill

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We’re often asked to fix chipped corners and damage around the sink cut-out, in solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Clean spills immediately

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in Stick Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Stick Hill

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Questions from Stick Hill

Do I need to be at home?

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Stick Hill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

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.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
