Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Wood

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

What affects the price in Great Whittington

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Great Whittington?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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 a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
