Hinton Waldrist questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
When to call us in Hinton Waldrist
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during installation
- A damaged sink edge
- Knife marks
- Gouges in the surface
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
