Materials and what they mean for the repair

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Droylsden use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Droylsden

Do you cover the entire of Tameside?

Everywhere in the UK, Droylsden included. Travel is included in the price.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Droylsden

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Droylsden

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

For a price in Droylsden, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
