Shipton-under-Wychwood questions

Is there any odour?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you work in Shipton-under-Wychwood?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shipton-under-Wychwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Wood

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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 we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shipton-under-Wychwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
