When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about worktop repair in Pickmere

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Landlord and trade work in Pickmere

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
