DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Sheldon

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sheldon. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Sheldon, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Sheldon

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Do you need worktop repair in Sheldon?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips near the sink
  • Scratches and knife marks

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
