Questions from Box End
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What else we do in Box End
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Box End
Most chips are on edges and corners, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Knife marks
- Chipped corners
- Dents and gouges
- Scorch marks from pans
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Box End. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Box End
If you manage property in Box End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Box End as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
