Common questions in Stratford
Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills immediately
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we are called out for in Stratford
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks often begin.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused during installation
- Gouges in the surface
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage to a stone worktop

What affects the price in Stratford
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Stratford, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

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. Doing it properly first is usually 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, then guarantee it for a year.
