Common questions in Vines Cross

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Vines Cross?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Vines Cross?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Vines Cross

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

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Signs you need worktop repair in Vines Cross

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
