DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

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 few hours, depending on the damage. 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. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

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

Advice

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Balkholme, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Balkholme. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

FAQs for Balkholme

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Balkholme.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop
