Questions from Farncombe
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Farncombe
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a chopping board
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep joints and edges dry
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
