Your questions about worktop repair in Swarthmoor

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Swarthmoor?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Swarthmoor and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Worktop repair at your home in Swarthmoor

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Whether it’s chips near the sink and damage to a stone worktop, we can help, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.

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

Repairs by material

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 marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Swarthmoor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
