Your questions about worktop repair in Swanage

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Worktop repair at your home in Swanage

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s chips near the sink and a dent from a dropped pan, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Swanage and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Swanage clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Swanage, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Swanage

Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A chipped edge

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
