What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Common questions in Great Urswick

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Great Urswick. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Great Urswick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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