Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills straight away

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Can I fix it myself?

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Long Ashes

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Long Ashes: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
