Common questions in Heaton

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Heaton.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Worktop repair in Heaton without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and people most often call us about scratches and knife marks and a damaged sink edge.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Solid surface

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BD9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need worktop repair in Heaton

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heaton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heaton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Heaton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
