How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

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’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Troway

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you repair quartz?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Troway.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Troway

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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Troway

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Troway. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
