Worktop repair for Altham homes

Altham questions

Do you work in Altham?

We do. Technicians travel to Altham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you match granite flecks?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repair or replace in Altham?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Altham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Altham. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
