Trusted worktop repair in Widford

Worktop repair at your home in Widford

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges in the surface and chips near the sink.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use a chopping board
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Widford

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

Your questions about worktop repair in Widford

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

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 I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Landlord and trade work in Widford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
