What affects the price in Podmore

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our full price list.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Podmore

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

Common questions in Podmore

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Podmore is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover Podmore?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Podmore and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Podmore

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
