Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Down Ampney
Do you work in Down Ampney?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Down Ampney. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean spills right away
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use a chopping board
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
