DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Southwick

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage to a stone worktop

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Southwick questions

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Southwick included. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Southwick

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Wood

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Southwick. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
