Questions from Pleshey
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Pleshey
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pleshey. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pleshey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Pleshey?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
