Worktop repair in Swinton, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and chips on edges and corners, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Swinton questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Swinton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
