Your questions about worktop repair in The Handfords

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

How much does worktop repair cost in The Handfords?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Handfords as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why The Handfords customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
