How we handle worktop repair in Skimpot

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include scorch marks from pans and a damaged sink edge, on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skimpot

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Skimpot questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Materials we work on in Skimpot

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Skimpot and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
