Questions from Boxted
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Boxted. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Do you need worktop repair in Boxted?
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gouges in the surface

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Boxted and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
