Worktop repair in Rimington

FAQs for Rimington

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Worktop repair in Rimington without replacing anything

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for knife marks and chips on edges and corners, on solid wood, laminate and quartz.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Rimington

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips near the sink
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Rimington

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
