Barlow: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How much does worktop repair cost in Barlow?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Barlow. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we work on in Barlow

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. 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 assess 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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.
