Worktop repair near West Hyde

Worktop repair in West Hyde, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for a chipped edge and chips in quartz or granite, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Hyde as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for West Hyde

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in West Hyde?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
