What else we do in Appley Bridge
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common problems we fix in Appley Bridge
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips caused during installation
- Scorch marks from pans

Questions from Appley Bridge
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
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.
Landlord and trade work in Appley Bridge
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
