Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
FAQs for Great Altcar
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Altcar and the rest of Sefton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
