When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Crook

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crook

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Crook

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Knife marks
  • A chipped edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A dent from a dropped pan

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
