Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Didsbury

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Didsbury. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Didsbury get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Didsbury

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Didsbury

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Didsbury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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