DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whale Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Whale Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Whale Hill questions

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I have to be there?

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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