How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Ryton

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover the whole of Gateshead?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Landlord and trade work in Ryton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ryton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gateshead and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Repairing versus replacing in Ryton

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
