Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Babcary

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 usually the cheaper route.

How we price worktop repair

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Babcary get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Babcary

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Babcary?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Babcary. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
