When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Stratton

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace in Stratton?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Stratton

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Stratton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When to call us in Stratton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Knife marks

  • How your room will be protected

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
