Common problems we fix in Arlington

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Arlington

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Arlington clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Work for landlords and builders

What affects the price in Arlington

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Arlington

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually. A photo lets us check.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
