How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Esh. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What we’re called out for in Esh

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Common reasons people in Esh contact us are:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A damaged sink edge

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Solid surface

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