Swalecliffe: your questions answered
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do you come to Swalecliffe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Swalecliffe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Swalecliffe. Prices don’t change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What affects the price in Swalecliffe
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
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.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
