Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

Do not leave spills to soak in
Take care with heavy pans near edges
Dry around the sink and joints
Chopping boards prevent scratches

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

What kind of damage it is
How hard the colour is to match
Whether we combine several jobs
The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

Natural light rather than flash
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A close-up of the damage, in focus
The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Howbeck, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Howbeck

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

Nothing taken out or refitted
One-year guarantee on every repair
CHAS and Constructionline accredited
Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
