Questions from Harbottle

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

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.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

About our worktop repair in Harbottle

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix burns from hot pans and a dent from a dropped pan, in solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Use a chopping board

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What affects the price in Harbottle

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Harbottle. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Harbottle, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harbottle

If you manage property in Harbottle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in Harbottle

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

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

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Gouges in the surface

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
