How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Honest limits

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

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Yr Olchfa

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
