Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Wroughton questions
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the whole of Swindon?
We cover the entire UK, including Wroughton and the rest of Swindon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Common problems we fix in Wroughton
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chipped corners

- Scratches and knife marks
- Gouges in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
