Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Hetton-le-Hole
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Hetton-le-Hole?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
