Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Shottisham

Do you work in Shottisham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shottisham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you charge for travel?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

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

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Shottisham

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
