DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop

What affects the price in Shipley

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

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire worktop

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

When to call us in Shipley

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scorch marks from pans

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
