FAQs for Rufford

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Rufford?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Rufford

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Rufford. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
