Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Over Compton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Over Compton

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Over Compton

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
