What else we do in Scraptoft
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Scraptoft
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Scraptoft, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Scraptoft: your questions answered
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does worktop repair cost in Scraptoft?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What we’re called out for in Scraptoft
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Scratches and knife marks
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- Aftercare advice

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
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. Repairing it early stops that.
