Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Donkey Street

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Donkey Street: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlords, agents and businesses in Donkey Street

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Donkey Street as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
