What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Buckley Wood

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we’re called out for in Buckley Wood

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Dents and gouges
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped edge

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Buckley Wood

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you come to Buckley Wood?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Buckley Wood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
