Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

Take care with heavy pans near edges
Use a chopping board
Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans down directly

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barleythorpe

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Repair or replace in Barleythorpe?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Barleythorpe

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

The type of damage
How hard the colour is to match
Doing more than one item at once
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
One sharp close-up of the damage
What it’s made of, if you know
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

We do. We send a technician to Barleythorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
