What affects the price in Sonning Common
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sonning Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

FAQs for Sonning Common
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
How it works

- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
