10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What affects the price in Wheatley

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Wheatley. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wheatley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wheatley, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wheatley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Wheatley: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are there extra charges for Wheatley?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repair or replace in Wheatley?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
