Waddicar questions
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Everywhere in the UK, Waddicar included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can landlords book you?

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not let water sit on joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Repair or replace in Waddicar?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire worktop
Most clients in Waddicar get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Get a quote
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 will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
