Questions from St Paul's Walden

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in St Paul's Walden.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Paul's Walden. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

For a price in St Paul's Walden, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we’re called out for in St Paul's Walden

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
