Worktop repair at your home in The Green

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on granite & marble, laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and dents and gouges.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from The Green

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are there extra charges for The Green?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Landlord and trade work in The Green

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in The Green

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chipped corners
  • Chips caused during installation

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
