Our hiring checklist

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

FAQs for Swainshill

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

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

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we work on in Swainshill

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
