A Hard Surface Repair Overview
Hard surface repair is part art and part science; a mixture of craftsmanship, specialist tools, quality materials, and technical know-how. Whatever the method our technicians employ, the aim is always to restore damaged surfaces to their original glory. As a team that specialises in hard surface chip repair and hard surface scratch repair, our task is to quickly and capably deal with wear and tear, accidental damage, and other forms of degradation.
Types of Damage
While we deal with a range of damage types, our team most typically handles hard surface chip repair and hard surface scratch repair. These can occur on various surfaces, from countertops to floors, walls, window and door fixtures, and even furniture. Common causes include heavy traffic/usage, dropped objects, exposure to heat, and aging materials.
Different Surfaces
Our expertise spans a wide array of materials. We commonly work with wood, laminate, ceramic, glass, metal, stone and composite surfaces. Each material requires a distinct approach to ensure a seamless repair. For example, wood might require filling, sanding, and colour matching, while ceramic may need special adhesives and precise temperature control to ensure an exceptional standard of hard surface chip repair or hard surface scratch repair.
Repair Techniques
Our repair techniques vary depending on the material and type of damage. For example, deeper gouges or chips usually require filler compounds that can be sanded and painted to match the surrounding area. For cracked tiles or stone surfaces, we use specialised adhesives that bond and seal the crack, followed by careful colour matching and texturing to make the repair virtually invisible.
Why Repair is Better Than Replacement
Both hard surface chip repair and hard surface scratch repair are not only more cost-effective, but more environmentally friendly than replacement. By repairing instead of replacing, we help reduce waste and the need for new raw materials. This approach also preserves the character and authenticity of older installations or bespoke designs, which might be difficult or costly to replace. On top of all this, repair work is typically faster and less disruptive than a complete replacement, allowing clients to get back to their normal routine with minimal interruption.
Our team of hard surface repair specialists is dedicated to reviving damaged surfaces, offering a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative to replacement, while restoring functionality and aesthetics to our clients' spaces.
Domestic & Commercial – Different Scenarios
Domestic and commercial scenarios differ in terms of scale, frequency, and expectations. In residential settings, repairs tend to focus on individual items like countertops, floors, and furniture. The damage is typically due to everyday use or accidents, and homeowners often seek repairs that align with their style and home aesthetics.
In commercial environments, particularly in hotels and hospitality businesses, the demands are more intense due to constant use and high traffic. Hotels bring us in for frequent and rapid repairs to maintain a professional appearance and guest satisfaction. Surfaces in lobbies, hallways, and guest rooms endure heavy wear, leading to the need for hard surface scratch repair and hard surface chip repair, amongst other services we provide.
The scope and speed of repairs in commercial settings are also more critical, given the impact on business operations and customer experience. Commercial clients expect a quick turnaround to minimise downtime, so our technicians must be efficient and discreet while maintaining quality. Additionally, commercial projects often require compliance with safety and accessibility standards, adding another layer of complexity to the repair process. The ability to tick all these boxes is why so many domestic and commercial clients in the following areas choose Bathglaze for both hard surface scratch repair and hard surface chip repair:
Essex – Kent – Surrey – Hampshire
North London – South London – East London – West London
East Sussex – West Sussex
