Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

West Sleekburn: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE62 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Sleekburn.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Sleekburn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in West Sleekburn?

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 normally far better value. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
