Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Gaunts

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Usually. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Gaunts

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gaunts use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
