How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What we are called out for in Stanley Crook

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chipped corners

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Stanley Crook questions

How soon can you come?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Repair or replace in Stanley Crook?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Stanley Crook customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stanley Crook. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Stanley Crook, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanley Crook as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use a chopping board

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
