Common questions in Bitterne Manor

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work in Bitterne Manor?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bitterne Manor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we are called out for in Bitterne Manor

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Bitterne Manor

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

For anyone letting property in or around Bitterne Manor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
