Questions from Copthorne

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you cover Copthorne?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Copthorne. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Copthorne

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Copthorne. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Copthorne

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Copthorne use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Common problems we fix in Copthorne

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
