Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Dane End

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Common questions in Dane End

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
