Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Warriston. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Warriston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Warriston

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Warriston?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills right away
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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