Appspond: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Appspond?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you need worktop repair in Appspond?
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scorch marks from pans
- A chipped quartz edge
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips caused during installation
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep wood oiled
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
