Honest limits

- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Wendlebury

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wendlebury use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Wendlebury
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
