Catchgate questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Catchgate.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
