Landlords, agents and businesses in Ratling

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Worktop repair in Ratling without replacing anything

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Common call-outs are for chips in quartz or granite and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace in Ratling?

A new 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. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to compare quotes

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Ratling: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Ratling?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you work in Ratling?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ratling. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
