About our worktop repair in Farthing Street

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you’re dealing with damage from fitting or building work and a dent from a dropped pan, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Farthing Street

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Farthing Street?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Farthing Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

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

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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
