Trusted worktop repair in Stroud Common

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Wood

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

How we handle worktop repair in Stroud Common

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz, and the jobs we see most are chips on edges and corners and chips caused during installation.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stroud Common

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Stroud Common, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

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

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Stroud Common

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Stroud Common?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

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 usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
