Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

FAQs for Northfield

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you cover Northfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Northfield. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Landlord and trade work in Northfield

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Northfield

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
