About our worktop repair in Stradey

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s damage around the sink cut-out and a dent from a dropped pan, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Granite and stone

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

Repair or replace in Stradey?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

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

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Stradey get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Stradey

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Stradey included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
