Questions from Wareside

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

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

When to call us in Wareside

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Look out for these signs:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chipped corners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again

What affects the price in Wareside

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Wareside and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Wareside

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

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Wareside

For anyone letting property in or around Wareside, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.
