Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

When to call us in Royston

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Materials we work on in Royston

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Royston

Can you repair several things at once?

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

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Royston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Royston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
