Worktop repair in Gambles Green

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Gambles Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
