The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we’d advise against a repair

- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving

What affects the price in Great Hormead
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Great Hormead
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
