About our worktop repair in Northall

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We work on granite & marble, laminate and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about a dent from a dropped pan and damage from fitting or building work.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Northall

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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped quartz edge

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Northall questions

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlord and trade work in Northall

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Northall

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
