Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills straight away
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- 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 are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
