Somerwood questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can you do it?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you come to Somerwood?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Somerwood

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What affects the price in Somerwood

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Somerwood. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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