DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Tideswell questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

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.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tideswell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

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

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

For a price in Tideswell, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Signs you need worktop repair in Tideswell

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chipped corners
  • Gouges in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What worktop repair costs

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tideswell, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
