Worktop repair for Stewartby homes

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we are called out for in Stewartby

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Burns from hot pans

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
