DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Sullom

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Honest limits

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

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we work on in Sullom

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
