Worktop repair in Fairoak, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners and a heat mark or burn.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fairoak. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Fairoak, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills right away

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Fairoak

Do I have to be there?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Fairoak?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover Fairoak?

We do. Technicians travel to Fairoak from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Different materials, different repairs

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