Can I fix it myself?

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.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Capel St Mary. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Capel St Mary

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What areas do you cover?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

When to call us in Capel St Mary

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Knife marks
  • Chips near the sink
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A chipped edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
