How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Cretingham questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Cretingham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cretingham. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Landlord and trade work in Cretingham

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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