About our worktop repair in Shevington Moor

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s a heat mark or burn and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Shevington Moor

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

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 will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

FAQs for Shevington Moor

Are there extra charges for Shevington Moor?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Shevington Moor included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shevington Moor as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
