Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

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

What we are called out for in Woodham Mortimer

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

Common reasons people in Woodham Mortimer contact us are:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Burns from hot pans

How to compare quotes

Your questions about worktop repair in Woodham Mortimer

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
