Landlords, agents and businesses in Thakeham

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about worktop repair in Thakeham

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How much does worktop repair cost in Thakeham?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Thakeham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Thakeham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens on the day

Once we’re 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 few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Thakeham

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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