Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around The Brents, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for The Brents. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for The Brents

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need worktop repair in The Brents?

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped edge
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped quartz edge
