Gatesheath questions

Are there extra charges for Gatesheath?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you cover the entire of Cheshire West and Chester?

All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you come to Gatesheath?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Gatesheath

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gatesheath

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need worktop repair in Gatesheath?

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped edge
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scorch marks from pans

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
