When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brailsford

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brailsford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Questions from Brailsford

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover Brailsford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Brailsford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Common problems we fix in Brailsford

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips near the sink
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped quartz edge

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
