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 often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leaden Knowl as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Leaden Knowl

Do you cover Leaden Knowl?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Leaden Knowl from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need worktop repair in Leaden Knowl?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips near the sink

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Leaden Knowl and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
