Do you need worktop repair in Wickford?
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Knife marks
- A chipped edge
- Scorch marks from pans
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Wickford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Re-oil timber worktops
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SS12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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 hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Questions from Wickford
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
