How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What affects the price in Tilty

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tilty, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Tilty

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chipped corners
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Tilty?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start 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’re paying for.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

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

Across the UK, and that includes Tilty. Prices don’t change with location.
