Worktop repair near Primrose

Worktop repair at your home in Primrose

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s burns from hot pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Primrose

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover Primrose?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Primrose and the rest of South Tyneside. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much do I need to move?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Primrose, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

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

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Primrose

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
