Book worktop repair in Wheatcroft

Landlord and trade work in Wheatcroft

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

About our worktop repair in Wheatcroft

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and dents and gouges, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Wheatcroft

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

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Wheatcroft

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you come to Wheatcroft?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wheatcroft for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wheatcroft. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Repairing versus replacing in Wheatcroft

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
