Questions from Haywards Heath

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Haywards Heath

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
