Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What we are called out for in Fen Ditton

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Fen Ditton: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens next?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Landlord and trade work in Fen Ditton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Fen Ditton

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fen Ditton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
