Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Clean spills immediately
Don’t knock pans against the edge
Re-oil timber worktops

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Houghton Green. The price comes down to:

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What kind of damage it is
How many items we do on one visit
Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

The material, if you know it
A photo taken from further back
Where you are, by postcode
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN31 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Questions from Houghton Green

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

The entire UK, including all of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
