Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Drypool. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we’re called out for in Drypool

Edges and corners chip most frequently, often when something heavy catches the edge.

Common reasons people in Drypool contact us are:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

FAQs for Drypool

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How much does worktop repair cost in Drypool?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Repair or replace in Drypool?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drypool use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
