Questions from Higher Wincombe

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How much does worktop repair cost in Higher Wincombe?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Higher Wincombe?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Higher Wincombe and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairing versus replacing in Higher Wincombe

A new 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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our full price list.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Wincombe

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Higher Wincombe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SP7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
