Common questions in Littlehempston
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should you replace it?
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 fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What affects the price in Littlehempston
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Littlehempston. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.

- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
