Questions from Fingest
Are there extra charges for Fingest?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you need worktop repair in Fingest?
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips caused during installation
- Knife marks
- Chips near the sink
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fingest
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fingest use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

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.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
