DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Signs you need worktop repair in Swallows Cross
Most chips are on edges and corners, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
Look out for these signs:
- Gouges in the surface
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Scratches and knife marks
- A damaged sink edge
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate

What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover Swallows Cross?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Swallows Cross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
