What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Upper Swainswick

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Upper Swainswick get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Upper Swainswick: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use a chopping board
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
