Worktop repair near Banks

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PR9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Banks questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Landlord and trade work in Banks

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Banks, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
