Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy 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 water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

When to call us in West Bergholt

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage from fitting or building work

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

What affects the price in West Bergholt

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
