FAQs for Thornton-le-Moors
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
