Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What affects the price in Saltmarsh
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Saltmarsh, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
