Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
FAQs for Acomb
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Acomb included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Acomb, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. 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, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
