Common questions in Gentleshaw

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gentleshaw

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gentleshaw use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What we are called out for in Gentleshaw

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What affects the price in Gentleshaw

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gentleshaw. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
