Worktop repair in Swanton

Worktop repair in Swanton, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the sink cut-out and gouges in the surface.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Swanton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME18 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Signs you need worktop repair in Swanton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Chipped corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Swanton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you work in Swanton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Swanton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
