Worktop repair in Swaffham without replacing anything

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for chips in quartz or granite and damage around the sink cut-out, across laminate, granite & marble and solid wood.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Repairs by material

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 scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need worktop repair in Swaffham

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.

  • Chips near the sink

  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
