How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills right away

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Docklow

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A chipped edge
  • Gouges in the surface

FAQs for Docklow

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Normally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
