What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Rainhill

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rainhill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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