  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

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

Repairing versus replacing in Somerton

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Questions from Somerton

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Somerton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Somerton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somerton use us as well as homeowners. 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. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Somerton

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Look out for these signs:

  • A chipped edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped quartz edge

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Get a quote

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