What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Signs you need worktop repair in Upper Whiston

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Dents and gouges

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What affects the price in Upper Whiston

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Whiston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rotherham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
