Worktop repair in Swaythling

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Worktop repair in Swaythling, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are scorch marks from pans and a dent from a dropped pan.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Swaythling

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A heat mark or burn

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Landlord and trade work in Swaythling

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Swaythling: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does worktop repair cost in Swaythling?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you come to Swaythling?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Swaythling and the rest of Southampton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Swaythling?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
