Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Foxash Estate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Foxash Estate and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Foxash Estate

If you manage property in Foxash Estate, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Foxash Estate

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
