Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Common questions in Scholes
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kirklees and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scholes as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Signs you need worktop repair in Scholes
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A heat mark or burn
- Scratches and knife marks
- A chipped edge
- Chips in quartz or granite
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
