When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Dudswell

  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Quartz

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Dudswell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about worktop repair in Dudswell

Is it messy?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work in Dudswell?

We do. Technicians travel to Dudswell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
