Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Reddish, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Reddish

Edges and corners chip most often, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips near the sink
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SK5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about worktop repair in Reddish

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Stockport. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
