Common questions in Port Charlotte
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Port Charlotte. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills right away
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your worktop is made of matters
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. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
When to call us in Port Charlotte
Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A heat mark or burn
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips near the sink
- Damage to a stone worktop
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Port Charlotte
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
