DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

About our worktop repair in Downfield

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are knife marks and a dent from a dropped pan.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Downfield

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Downfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our pricing.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Downfield

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Downfield?

We do. We send a technician to Downfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Get a quote

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
