Questions from Harbertonford
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Harbertonford is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Harbertonford?
We do. We send a technician to Harbertonford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
