Worktop repair near Upper Norwood

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

About our worktop repair in Upper Norwood

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. We are often asked to fix a chipped quartz edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills right away
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not let water sit on joints

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What affects the price in Upper Norwood

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Upper Norwood

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Upper Norwood.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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