What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we price worktop repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wirksworth: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wirksworth.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Wirksworth

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
