Question 1

Can you repair chips in quartz worktops without replacing the whole thing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most stone and quartz chips can be repaired with colour-matched resin fills, sanded and polished to match. Typical cost £180–£550 per repair. The alternative — replacing a whole worktop — starts around £2,500 minimum, so repair almost always makes sense.

Question 2

Do you do French polishing on antique furniture?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hand-applied shellac finishes on antique furniture, period banisters, tabletops and panelling. Traditional French polishing produces a depth of sheen no modern lacquer can match. Typical pieces are £280–£950 depending on size and condition.

Question 3

Can you spray kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — and it saves 70–80% vs replacement. We remove doors, strip and prep them, spray in a professional booth with 2K paint (same stuff car manufacturers use), and reinstall. A full kitchen respray is typically £2,500–£5,000 — compared to £20k+ for a whole new kitchen.

Question 4

How long do surface repairs take?

Accepted Answer

Most are completed in a single visit of 1–4 hours. Spot repairs (a chip in a bath, a scratch on a floor, a burn on a worktop) are often under an hour. Larger jobs (cabinet respray, staircase refinish, period banister restoration) span 1–5 days.

Question 5

Can you match existing colours and finishes?

Accepted Answer

Yes — colour matching is 90% of what we do. We bring a set of pigments and stains on every job and build up a match in front of you before committing. For manufactured finishes (laminate, solid-surface, enamel) we can also order factory paint codes from the original supplier.

Question 6

Is it worth repairing, or should I replace?

Accepted Answer

Repair makes sense when the damage is localised and the rest of the surface is in good condition. Replacement makes sense when the finish is widely worn or dated. We'll tell you straight — we'd rather lose a small repair job than talk you into one that won't hold up.
