Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

What affects the price in Burston

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Burston. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

When to call us in Burston

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Knife marks

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Burston

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Landlord and trade work in Burston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
