Little Thurrock questions

Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Do you work in Little Thurrock?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Should you replace it?

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
