Look out for any of the following:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips near the sink

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Gainsborough

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Gainsborough?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN21 postcode.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Advice

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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