What affects the price in Rushmere

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole worktop

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Worktop repair in Rushmere without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix chipped corners and a chipped quartz edge, across solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Repairing versus replacing in Rushmere

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Rushmere

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Rushmere

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

When to call us in Rushmere

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Dents and gouges

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
