Worktop repair in Sandwick without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are a dent from a dropped pan and scratches and knife marks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 Sandwick

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandwick

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Granite and stone

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
