Doffcocker questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Doffcocker
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips caused during installation
- A chipped edge
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Dents and gouges
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
