Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Woodhouse Hill

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?

Everywhere in the UK, Woodhouse Hill included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Landlord and trade work in Woodhouse Hill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodhouse Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, 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. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
