10 questions to ask before you book

Worktop repair at your home in Swaffham Bulbeck

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are cuts and scratches in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

Common questions in Swaffham Bulbeck

Do you come to Swaffham Bulbeck?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are there extra charges for Swaffham Bulbeck?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, 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.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
