Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minstead use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Minstead: your questions answered
How much do I need to move?

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean spills right away
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
