Questions from Ash Priors

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Ash Priors and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Ash Priors

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
