DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally 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. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Woodmancote

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that’s where cracks often begin.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chipped corners
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Landlord and trade work in Woodmancote

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
