Book worktop repair in Sutton upon Tern

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Materials we work on in Sutton upon Tern

FAQs for Sutton upon Tern

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
