What we are called out for in West Challow

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

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

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips on edges and corners

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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

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 few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. We start by checking 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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What affects the price in West Challow

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
