FAQs for Yaxley

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Yaxley

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to look after the repair

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

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
