What affects the price in Lydgate

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about worktop repair in Lydgate

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lydgate.

Do you cover the whole of Oldham?

Everywhere in the UK, Lydgate included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oldham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Lydgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Signs you need worktop repair in Lydgate

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Dents and gouges

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • 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.

Materials we work on in Lydgate

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
