How we handle worktop repair in Three Horse Shoes

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. We work on laminate, quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are damage from fitting or building work and a chipped quartz edge.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Three Horse Shoes. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

What we work on

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

Three Horse Shoes: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

How much does worktop repair cost in Three Horse Shoes?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Repair or replace in Three Horse Shoes?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
