DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Sparkwell

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Sparkwell

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

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

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
