About our worktop repair in Ramshaw

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include gouges in the surface and chips caused during installation, across granite & marble, solid wood and quartz.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Ramshaw

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ramshaw

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ramshaw

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Ramshaw questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
