Worktop repair at your home in Woodford Wells

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you’re dealing with chips in quartz or granite and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can usually put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Woodford Wells as everywhere else we work.

Woodford Wells questions

Do you come to Woodford Wells?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woodford Wells for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodford Wells as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Woodford Wells

Most chips are on edges and corners, typically from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IG8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
