Common questions in Rumford
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
