Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

How we handle worktop repair in Wingates

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s chips in quartz or granite and gouges in the surface, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What we can’t put right

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

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

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

Quartz

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

When to call us in Wingates

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips near the sink

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Wingates questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wingates.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Landlord and trade work in Wingates

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
