East Carleton questions

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes East Carleton. Prices do not change with location.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in East Carleton

Edges and corners chip most often, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage from fitting or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

What affects the price in East Carleton

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to East Carleton. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why East Carleton clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
