Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about worktop repair in The Grove

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for The Grove?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in The Grove.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Grove. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in The Grove

  • Granite & marble

When to call us in The Grove

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

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

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips near the sink
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Clean spills right away
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
