Should you replace it?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for South Hanningfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in South Hanningfield

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

South Hanningfield: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I have to be there?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in South Hanningfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
