Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in St Mary Hoo, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in St Mary Hoo

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

What we’re called out for in St Mary Hoo

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A chipped edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Scratches and knife marks

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

St Mary Hoo: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally. A picture lets us check.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Repairing versus replacing in St Mary Hoo

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Mary Hoo. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
