Landlords, agents and businesses in Assington
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Assington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Your questions about worktop repair in Assington
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Assington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
