Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Repairs by material

Laminate

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

Granite and stone

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

10 questions to ask before booking

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stotfold Common. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Stotfold Common

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stotfold Common use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have 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. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
