Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Selly Oak. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Selly Oak questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Selly Oak.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Selly Oak?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your B29 postcode.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Selly Oak

A new 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. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Selly Oak clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate

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