Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep wood oiled

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

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.

What we are called out for in Sturton

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Dents and gouges

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
