Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry

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.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Worktop repair in Sutton without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We are frequently asked to fix knife marks and damage from fitting or building work, on granite & marble, laminate and quartz.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need worktop repair in Sutton?

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

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Advice

Sutton: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for Sutton?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Granite and stone

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

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Materials we work on in Sutton

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
