Common questions in Douglas

How much does worktop repair cost in Douglas?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

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.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you cover Douglas?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Douglas from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Common problems we fix in Douglas

Most chips are on edges and corners, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repairs by material
