Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Other services in Goodnestone
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goodnestone as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from Goodnestone
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Repairing versus replacing in Goodnestone
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
