Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Wipe up spills quickly

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

About our worktop repair in Sandplace

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with cuts and scratches in the surface and dents and gouges, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Sandplace

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sandplace. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Sandplace questions

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Granite and stone

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