Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills right away
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Trimdon

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Trimdon?

We do. Technicians travel to Trimdon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Trimdon

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
