How we handle worktop repair in Snailwell

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on granite & marble, laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on edges and corners and a dent from a dropped pan.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Snailwell and across Cambridgeshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Snailwell

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Snailwell. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Snailwell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Repairing versus replacing in Snailwell

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
