How we handle worktop repair in Tendring Green

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you’re dealing with a damaged sink edge and gouges in the surface, we can normally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Tendring Green

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we are called out for in Tendring Green

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage from fitting or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Tendring Green

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
