Worktop repair near Ruardean Woodside

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Ruardean Woodside

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ruardean Woodside

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Ruardean Woodside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Ruardean Woodside

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

FAQs for Ruardean Woodside

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
