Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills immediately
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Landlord and trade work in Budds
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Budds, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Budds, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Budds questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
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.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
