Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. 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.
Repair or replace in East Guldeford?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Guldeford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
