  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Silvergate

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

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

Laminate

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, 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. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. 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.
