Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Sherborne

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • One visit for most repairs

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Common questions in Sherborne

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
