What else we do in Buckstone
Buckstone: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Buckstone?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Buckstone. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Buckstone, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills immediately
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
When to call us in Buckstone
Most chips are on edges and corners, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Chips caused during installation
- Gouges in the surface
- Chipped corners
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Buckstone. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t 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
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
