Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Hilborough

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work in Hilborough?

We do. Technicians travel to Hilborough from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hilborough. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Hilborough, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
