About our worktop repair in Skillington

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you are dealing with chips in quartz or granite and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help, on solid wood, laminate and granite & marble alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Skillington: your questions answered

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Normally. Send us a photo and we will tell you.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Skillington. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skillington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

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

Quartz

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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