Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Waterbeach questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

We cover the whole UK, including Waterbeach and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically. A photo lets us check.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repair or replace in Waterbeach?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Waterbeach

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Waterbeach. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Landlord and trade work in Waterbeach

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterbeach use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
