Humberstone questions

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

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 do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Humberstone.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the entire of Leicester?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Humberstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

If you are in Humberstone and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 frequently lifts.

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.
