What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Plenmeller. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Plenmeller questions

Do you come to Plenmeller?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Plenmeller for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Plenmeller?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NE49 postcode.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills straight away

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plenmeller

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Plenmeller, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

DIY kit or professional 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.

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
