About our worktop repair in Sapiston

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We’re often asked to fix a damaged sink edge and a chipped edge, on quartz, laminate and granite & marble.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

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

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills right away
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sapiston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
