Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Pickwell

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Pickwell

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

What affects the price in Pickwell

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Pickwell get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded 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.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
