Trusted worktop repair in Swanwick

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Worktop repair in Swanwick, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and damage to a stone worktop, in quartz, granite & marble and laminate.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swanwick use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

Materials we work on in Swanwick

  • Laminate
  • Solid wood

What we’re called out for in Swanwick

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A heat mark or burn

Choosing a repair company

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Do you work in Swanwick?

We do. We send a technician to Swanwick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
