The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Dodford

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Dodford. Prices do not change with location.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Dodford?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
