What affects the price in Puddle Dock
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Puddle Dock. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Questions from Puddle Dock
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
