Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Kingwood Common
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Kingwood Common.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
