What affects the price in Lower Common

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Lower Common

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Lower Common and the rest of Monmouthshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Common

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

When to call us in Lower Common

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A chipped edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips near the sink

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
