Worktop repair at your home in Swanley

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and a chipped quartz edge.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Swanley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swanley

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
