Trusted worktop repair in Cheltenham

Worktop repair in Cheltenham, done in place

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about a heat mark or burn and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cheltenham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cheltenham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Do you need worktop repair in Cheltenham?

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped edge
  • A heat mark or burn

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Cheltenham

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

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

How much does worktop repair cost in Cheltenham?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect 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.

Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?

The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
