FAQs for Nether Compton
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Nether Compton included. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

- A chipped quartz edge

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nether Compton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
