How the visit works

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 few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Do you need worktop repair in Sandling?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips caused during installation

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandling. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Sandling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about worktop repair in Sandling

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What information do you need?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
