What affects the price in Great Asby

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Asby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Great Asby

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chipped corners
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Gouges in the surface

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Great Asby

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Great Asby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
