It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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

Worktop repair in Salthouse, done in place

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and a chipped edge.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salthouse

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Salthouse

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
