How we handle worktop repair in Snods Edge

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s chips in quartz or granite and chips caused during installation, we can help, on laminate, quartz and granite & marble alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Snods Edge

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Snods Edge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Snods Edge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Your questions about worktop repair in Snods Edge

Do you work in Snods Edge?

We do. We send a technician to Snods Edge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Landlord and trade work in Snods Edge

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
