Common questions in Lenton Abbey

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottingham.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What affects the price in Lenton Abbey

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

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.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Do you need worktop repair in Lenton Abbey?

Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A damaged sink edge

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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