Common questions in Shoreham

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How much does worktop repair cost in Shoreham?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shoreham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Shoreham, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
