Common questions in Clare

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you.

Worktop repair at your home in Clare

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Wood

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clare use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clare. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
