Questions from Wincheap
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What we are called out for in Wincheap
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Common reasons people in Wincheap contact us are:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Knife marks
- A chipped edge
- Damage from fitting or building work

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
