Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LN6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

South Hykeham questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
