Questions from Bleak Hey Nook
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Bleak Hey Nook?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What else we do in Bleak Hey Nook
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bleak Hey Nook, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
