What affects the price in Crookhall

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Signs you need worktop repair in Crookhall

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scratches and knife marks

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

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 liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

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 will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
