How we handle worktop repair in St Day

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or building work and dents and gouges, in granite & marble, laminate and quartz.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

When to call us in St Day

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for St Day

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to St Day?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Day for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in St Day?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What affects the price in St Day

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Day use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
