DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Leigh as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about worktop repair in The Leigh

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in The Leigh?

We do. We send a technician to The Leigh for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What we are called out for in The Leigh

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Gouges in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why The Leigh clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in The Leigh, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
