Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Common questions in St John Street area
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
