Worktop repair for Salway Ash homes

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Worktop repair in Salway Ash, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s a damaged sink edge and chips caused during installation, we can typically put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Salway Ash

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Do you need worktop repair in Salway Ash?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chipped corners
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Knife marks
  • A heat mark or burn

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
