Book worktop repair in Middleton

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Middleton

For anyone letting property in or around Middleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
