Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

FAQs for Smeaton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover the whole of East Lothian?

The whole UK, including all of East Lothian. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Common problems we fix in Smeaton

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Burns from hot pans

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
