Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Worktop repair at your home in Sandwith Newtown

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include scorch marks from pans and a damaged sink edge, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material

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. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Sandwith Newtown: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you need worktop repair in Sandwith Newtown?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped edge
  • Dents and gouges

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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