How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Widford. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Widford

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Widford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.

Common questions in Widford

Do you come to Widford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Widford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you repair quartz?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Common problems we fix in Widford

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not let water sit on joints

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
