Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

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

Common questions in Shirland

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Do you need worktop repair in Shirland?

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips near the sink
  • Burns from hot pans

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Shirland

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shirland. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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