Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Northchurch questions

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you come to Northchurch?

We do. We send a technician to Northchurch for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it messy?

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

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HP4 postcode.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What affects the price in Northchurch

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Northchurch. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HP4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northchurch as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Northchurch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
