Worktop repair for The Chart homes

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

About our worktop repair in The Chart

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and cuts and scratches in the surface.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Common questions in The Chart

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around The Chart, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in The Chart

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chipped corners
  • Gouges in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

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.
