Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Worktop repair at your home in Swepstone
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on laminate, solid wood and quartz, and people most often call us about burns from hot pans and chips caused during installation.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Signs you need worktop repair in Swepstone
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Look out for these signs:
- Burns from hot pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A chipped quartz edge
- A dent from a dropped pan

What else we do in Swepstone
Your questions about worktop repair in Swepstone
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Swepstone.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Swepstone?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swepstone. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Swepstone
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What affects the price in Swepstone
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
