Common questions in Murton

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Signs you need worktop repair in Murton

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Materials we work on in Murton

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

If you are in Murton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Murton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Murton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
