Preston questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Landlord and trade work in Preston

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our full price list.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When to call us in Preston

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills right away

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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