Shillingford questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work in Shillingford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shillingford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Shillingford. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shillingford

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shillingford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Shillingford

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
