What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charter Alley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charter Alley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Charter Alley: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Charter Alley?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How much do I need to move?

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

Across the UK, so Charter Alley is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
