Choosing a repair company

Worktop repair in Coalburns without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We are frequently asked to fix scorch marks from pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, across granite & marble, quartz and solid wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire worktop

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coalburns

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gateshead and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Coalburns

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

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.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of Gateshead?

All of Gateshead, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.
