How we handle worktop repair in Smeatharpe

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches and knife marks and scorch marks from pans.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Smeatharpe

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smeatharpe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about worktop repair in Smeatharpe

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

What affects the price in Smeatharpe

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
