Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we’re called out for in Shawlands

Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched

How the visit works

Once we are 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 morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Granite and stone

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

What affects the price in Shawlands

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Shawlands questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shawlands.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How much does worktop repair cost in Shawlands?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G41 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Shawlands, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
