What’s near Buckland
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Freman College and St Andrew's Church, among other places. The nearest railway station is Royston station, roughly 4.7 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Anstey Hales Farm (3.4 miles east). Not far away are Hawkins Wood.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Buckland
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buckland use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

- A damaged sink edge
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A chipped quartz edge
- Cuts and scratches in the surface

Buckland questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Buckland?
We do. We send a technician to Buckland for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Wipe up spills quickly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
