What affects the price in Grange Villa

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Repairing versus replacing in Grange Villa

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need worktop repair in Grange Villa?

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
