Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
