Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cartledge. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add 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.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Landlord and trade work in Cartledge

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Your questions about worktop repair in Cartledge

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work in Cartledge?

We do. We send a technician to Cartledge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.

  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. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
