FAQs for Worth Matravers

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Worth Matravers?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Worth Matravers use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board

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

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Worth Matravers. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not 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.

Signs you need worktop repair in Worth Matravers

Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scorch marks from pans

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair
