What affects the price in Quarrington Hill

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

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