Questions from Rackham

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Are there extra charges for Rackham?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Worktop repair at your home in Rackham

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with chips caused during installation and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can help, on granite & marble, solid wood and quartz alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Rackham

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rackham. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Rackham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Signs you need worktop repair in Rackham

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

Common reasons people in Rackham contact us include:

  • Chipped corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
