The process

From the moment we arrive, 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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Whaplode

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Your questions about worktop repair in Whaplode

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whaplode

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whaplode as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

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

Granite and stone

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
