Worktop repair in Tiger Bay

Worktop repair at your home in Tiger Bay

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and chipped corners.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Tiger Bay. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
