When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Clean spills right away
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

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

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Austerlands, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Austerlands

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Austerlands clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Austerlands, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
