FAQs for Clovenfords
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Clovenfords.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Clean spills straight away
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
What we are called out for in Clovenfords
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Burns from hot pans
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Chips caused during installation
- Chips on edges and corners
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repairing versus replacing in Clovenfords
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
