DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandy Bottom as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
