How we handle worktop repair in Tunshill

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We’re often asked to fix knife marks and a damaged sink edge, across quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tunshill and across Rochdale.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

FAQs for Tunshill

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Tunshill?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Tunshill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
