Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Can I add another job to the visit?

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlord and trade work in Tidebrook

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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tidebrook as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

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