Common questions in Upper Stowe
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
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.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What we’re called out for in Upper Stowe
Edges and corners chip most frequently, often when something heavy catches the edge.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What else we do in Upper Stowe
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
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. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
