Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Eryholme: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Eryholme.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How much do I need to move?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Eryholme. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

What we’re called out for in Eryholme

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in Eryholme contact us are:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips near the sink

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
