Questions from Lower Stoke

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Stoke. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

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

Materials we work on in Lower Stoke

  • Quartz
  • Laminate

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Stoke

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common problems we fix in Lower Stoke

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips near the sink

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
