Getting a price from pictures

How we handle worktop repair in Sheriff Hill
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s chips caused during installation and dents and gouges, we can usually put it right.

- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit

- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

FAQs for Sheriff Hill
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep wood oiled
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
