Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around St Ippolyts, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
