What affects the price in Waterlane

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GL6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Waterlane

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. 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. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
