  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Shitterton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
