Worktop repair near Swithland

Worktop repair in Swithland without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a damaged sink edge and dents and gouges.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Landlord and trade work in Swithland

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swithland as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Swithland

Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Chipped corners
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
