Slindon Common questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across West Sussex.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Slindon Common

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Signs you need worktop repair in Slindon Common

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips near the sink
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. 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 Slindon Common customers choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

The process

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 we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
