Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Fordington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

FAQs for Fordington
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Fordington?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Fordington. Prices do not change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Fordington
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
