What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Materials we work on in Bedford

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wigan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bedford questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Bedford?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your WN7 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not let water sit on joints

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 frequently lifts.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
