Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Vicarscross

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips caused during installation

  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about worktop repair in Vicarscross

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills right away
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Repair or replace in Vicarscross?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
