Worktop repair in Shottermill

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Worktop repair in Shottermill without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are a heat mark or burn and dents and gouges.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Common questions in Shottermill

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Shottermill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
