Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about worktop repair in Sandford

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Landlord and trade work in Sandford

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Sandford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Granite and stone

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