Worktop repair for Swanley homes

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we work on in Swanley

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

How we handle worktop repair in Swanley

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are cuts and scratches in the surface and scorch marks from pans.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swanley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Swanley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
