Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

About our worktop repair in Farthingloe

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s damage around the sink cut-out and chips caused during installation, we can usually put it right, on laminate, solid wood and granite & marble alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Farthingloe questions

Are there extra charges for Farthingloe?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlord and trade work in Farthingloe

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need worktop repair in Farthingloe?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Farthingloe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
