Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wolborough use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What we’re called out for in Wolborough
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Knife marks
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips caused during installation
- Dents and gouges
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
What affects the price in Wolborough
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
