What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What affects the price in St Thomas

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to St Thomas. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Thomas as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

St Thomas questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
