In depth
How this service works on site
Damage to a finished surface doesn't always need a full replacement. A 5mm chip on a $3,000 sintered stone benchtop can usually be filled, colour-matched and polished back to invisibility in 2–3 hours — versus a 6-week replacement plus removal, plumbing rework and tiling repair.
Each surface has its own technique: tile and sintered stone use two-part epoxy with custom pigment mixing for veining and base colour. Natural stone gets filler plus mechanical re-polishing to match adjacent gloss level. Timber and laminate furniture use UV-cured topcoats over colour fills. Aluminium gets dent pulling, surface filling and matched powder-coat touch-up.
We don't post prices — pricing varies too much by damage type, surface, location and accessibility. Send photos with a ruler in frame and we'll quote within 1 business day. Most repairs come back in the $150–$600 range; insurance and warranty work goes through claim paperwork.
Our process
From drawings to handover
- 01
Photo assessment
Send 2–3 photos: wide shot showing the damage in context, close-up with a ruler, and the surrounding surface for colour reference. We quote from photos.
- 02
Material match
For colour-critical repairs we send a sample swatch first. Once approved, we mix to that swatch on site — not 'roughly matched' from memory.
- 03
On-site repair
Most repairs done in a single visit, 1–3 hours per spot. Furniture and joinery can often be done in place; some benchtop repairs need cure time before second-coat polish.
- 04
Polish & finish match
Final step is matching gloss level to the surrounding surface — matte, satin or polished. This is where most cheap repairs fail; a perfectly-matched colour with the wrong gloss is obvious.
- 05
Sign-off check
Walked through with the homeowner or builder, viewed from typical angles (3m, 1m, close-up). Adjusted if anything reads as a repair from normal viewing distance.
Why Dun
What sets this service apart
Photo-based quoting
We don't charge a callout fee to look at a chip. Send photos, get a quote, decide if it's worth doing.
Surface-specific technique, not universal
Tile, sintered stone, natural stone, timber and aluminium each have a different repair process. Not one-product-fits-all.
Gloss matched to the surface
Most repair work fails on gloss, not colour. We match the finish level — matte, satin, semi-gloss, polished — to the rest of the surface.
In-place repair where possible
Furniture, joinery and benchtops can usually be repaired without removal. Saves coordination and reinstall cost.
FAQ
Common questions about this service
How big a chip or crack can you actually repair?
Up to roughly 30mm chip on tile/stone, longer hairline cracks on sintered stone (50mm+), most scratches on timber. Beyond that we'll be honest about whether repair makes sense vs replacement — we'd rather say no than do a repair that's visible.
Will the repair last?
Yes, for normal use. Epoxy and UV-cure repairs are mechanically stronger than the original surface. The visual match is what ages over time — pigment match holds 5+ years before any drift, longer indoors.
Can you match unusual finishes — bookmatched stone, antique mirror, weathered timber?
Bookmatched stone: usually yes, send extra photos of the veining context. Antique mirror: limited — we can resilver small areas. Weathered timber: yes, with the caveat that 'weathered' is the natural state we're working with.
Do you do insurance and warranty work?
Yes — we quote on insurance/warranty letterhead, document the damage in writing and photos, and invoice the insurer or builder directly if requested.
