What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Advice

How we handle worktop repair in Boleside

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most often call us about a chipped quartz edge and knife marks.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Scorch marks from pans

Our hiring checklist

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TD1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Solid surface

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

Repairing versus replacing in Boleside

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlord and trade work in Boleside

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Common questions in Boleside

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
