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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our pricing.

Landlord and trade work in Ashford in the Water

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

What affects the price in Ashford in the Water

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Ashford in the Water

Do you do work for letting agents?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
