Worktop repair at your home in Gamblesby
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We’re often asked to fix chips in quartz or granite and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Gamblesby questions
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
