When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Riverside

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Riverside

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need worktop repair in Riverside?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Knife marks
  • A chipped quartz edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Riverside. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Riverside, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills right away

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
