Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Landlord and trade work in Helland

For anyone letting property in or around Helland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Helland

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
