How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Saxthorpe

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills right away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Common questions in Saxthorpe

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. Send us a photo and we will tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How much does worktop repair cost in Saxthorpe?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Repair or replace in Saxthorpe?

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. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
