What affects the price in Whetstone
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whetstone use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Whetstone
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Are there extra charges for Whetstone?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What we’re called out for in Whetstone
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused during installation
- Dents and gouges
- Chipped corners
- Damage to a stone worktop
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
