Worktop repair for Tolpuddle homes

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Worktop repair in Tolpuddle, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz, and people most often call us about knife marks and gouges in the surface.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Tolpuddle: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
