When we’d advise against a repair

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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shilton

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shilton. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole worktop

If you’re in Shilton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
