When to call us in Tunstall

Repair or replace in Tunstall?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Clean spills right away
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Tunstall?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
