How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Questions from East Rainton

What does worktop repair cost?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. 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.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in East Rainton

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to East Rainton. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Rainton

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Rainton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
