Questions from Arlington

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arlington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Arlington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What we are called out for in Arlington

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Knife marks
  • A chipped edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
