What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Common questions in Turnpike Lane

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Turnpike Lane and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Repairing versus replacing in Turnpike Lane

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

What we’re called out for in Turnpike Lane

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A heat mark or burn

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Turnpike Lane

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Turnpike Lane. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
