Wideopen questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Wideopen
For anyone letting property in or around Wideopen, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wideopen. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Wideopen
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wideopen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
