Our hiring checklist

Worktop repair at your home in Botany

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about scorch marks from pans and a damaged sink edge.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Botany

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

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

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Botany. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Botany. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Wood

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

Botany questions

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover Botany?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Botany from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
