Our hiring checklist

About our worktop repair in Hempstead

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include burns from hot pans and a dent from a dropped pan, in solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Hempstead

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Hempstead

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hempstead as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Laminate

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
