Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bownham. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Bownham

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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

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

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
