Aftercare tips

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

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills straight away

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bocking Churchstreet. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Bocking Churchstreet

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common problems we fix in Bocking Churchstreet

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips near the sink

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Bocking Churchstreet

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
