Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
