Worktop repair in Farley

Work for landlords and builders

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 can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we handle worktop repair in Farley

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Whether it’s damage from fitting or building work and burns from hot pans, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Farley

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

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

What affects the price in Farley

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ST10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about worktop repair in Farley

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
