About worktop repair in Swindon

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners and a chipped quartz edge, in quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Cost

Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairing versus replacing

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.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
