Our hiring checklist

How we handle worktop repair in Cockett

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most often call us about scratches and knife marks and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Landlord and trade work in Cockett

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Cockett, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

What affects the price in Cockett

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cockett. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire worktop

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Cockett

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Cockett and the rest of Swansea. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swansea.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
