Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Patcham

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

What information do you need?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you come to Patcham?

We do. We send a technician to Patcham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Patcham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

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. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What we’re called out for in Patcham

Most chips are on edges and corners, generally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A dent from a dropped pan

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What affects the price in Patcham

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

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

Surfaces we repair

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