About our worktop repair in Bournside

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and scratches and knife marks.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Your questions about worktop repair in Bournside

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover Bournside?

We do. We send a technician to Bournside for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What affects the price in Bournside

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bournside. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL51 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Granite and stone

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
