Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills straight away
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When to call us in Holwellbury
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Scorch marks from pans
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
