How to compare quotes

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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

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

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Aythorpe Roding

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aythorpe Roding. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Aythorpe Roding get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
