Questions from Higher Ince
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
How much does worktop repair cost in Higher Ince?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your WN2 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Higher Ince.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Ince
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
