Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Landlord and trade work in Wellswood

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Choosing a repair company

How we price worktop repair

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

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Wellswood

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price
