Common questions in Kielder
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
