Common questions in Little Portugal

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Portugal

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
