What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills right away
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Penrith

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for Penrith?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When to call us in Penrith

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penrith

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you do not 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.
