DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Bullockstone

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How much does worktop repair cost in Bullockstone?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What affects the price in Bullockstone

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bullockstone. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bullockstone as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Bullockstone

Edges and corners chip most frequently, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
