Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in St Michael South Elmham, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in St Michael South Elmham

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, 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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR35 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in St Michael South Elmham

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

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Michael South Elmham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

St Michael South Elmham: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in St Michael South Elmham.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
