Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Longthorpe

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to compare quotes

Questions from Longthorpe

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longthorpe

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
