FAQs for Tortington
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How much does worktop repair cost in Tortington?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BN18 postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Tortington
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
