DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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 frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shardlow. The price depends on:

The colour and finish to match
How many items we do on one visit
Where the damage is and how we get to it
What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shardlow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

A picture taken from further back
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

Chopping boards prevent scratches
Clean spills straight away
Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Never put hot pans down directly

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace in Shardlow?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Shardlow

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Shardlow included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

The area around the damage is protected.
The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
We fill it and level it with the worktop.
We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

Clear the area around the damage
Ensure the area is dry
Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
