Common questions in Fingringhoe
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work in Fingringhoe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fingringhoe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fingringhoe. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole worktop
For a price in Fingringhoe, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills right away
- Keep joints and edges dry
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
