Common questions in Setley
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Worktop repair in Setley without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with dents and gouges and knife marks, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Setley
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills right away
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
What affects the price in Setley
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Setley. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Setley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
