What affects the price in Drem

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Questions from Drem

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

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

Granite and stone

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

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Drem

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
