What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Worktop repair in Whiddon without replacing anything

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips near the sink.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Whiddon

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Whiddon

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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