How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ayton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Materials we work on in Ayton

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. 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. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
