Repairing versus replacing in Four Gates

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Questions from Four Gates

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Four Gates and the rest of Bolton. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Four Gates, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
