Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Northmoor
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Northmoor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
What affects the price in Northmoor
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Northmoor. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Your questions about worktop repair in Northmoor
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the whole of Oldham?
Everywhere in the UK, Northmoor included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
