Worktop repair at your home in Swarcliffe

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for a heat mark or burn and gouges in the surface, on granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chipped corners
  • Scratches and knife marks

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

Materials we work on in Swarcliffe

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

How it 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 morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry

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 particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
