What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cornsay Colliery
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean spills straight away
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What affects the price in Cornsay Colliery
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Cornsay Colliery questions
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include 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 leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
