About our worktop repair in The Down

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are a heat mark or burn and knife marks.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in The Down

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

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

What affects the price in The Down

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for The Down. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

The Down questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
