Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean spills right away
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
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 burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Holwell questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Holwell included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holwell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Holwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
