Choosing a repair company

About our worktop repair in Tiptree

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We’re often asked to fix a chipped edge and chips in quartz or granite, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What affects the price in Tiptree

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tiptree. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Tiptree, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Tiptree

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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
