About our worktop repair in Hey

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Typical jobs include a dent from a dropped pan and damage to a stone worktop, on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Hey and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hey

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Hey questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
