South Leigh questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How we handle worktop repair in South Leigh

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with a chipped edge and a heat mark or burn, we can generally put it right, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What we are called out for in South Leigh

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chipped corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Gouges in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Leigh

If you manage property in South Leigh, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting 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 we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
