Repairing versus replacing in Stowford

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Stowford

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EX10 postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work in Stowford?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

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

What we’re called out for in Stowford

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
