How we handle worktop repair in Northam

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s gouges in the surface and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What affects the price in Northam

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Northam. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Northam

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Northam?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Northam for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

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

Materials we work on in Northam

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