How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Chickney

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you cover Chickney?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chickney. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

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

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Chickney

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chickney. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
