What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Upper Ruxley

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

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

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Common questions in Upper Ruxley

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover Upper Ruxley?

We do. We send a technician to Upper Ruxley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
