Wooden worktop being repaired in a customer’s kitchen

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

Related advice

Chandler's Cross: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Chandler's Cross included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you come to Chandler's Cross?

We do. Technicians travel to Chandler's Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chandler's Cross

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chandler's Cross as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Chandler's Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Clean spills straight away

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Chandler's Cross

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
