Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

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

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Hylton Red House

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hylton Red House. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Hylton Red House

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A chipped edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What areas do you cover?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
