Trusted worktop repair in Gamlingay

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Worktop repair in Gamlingay, done in place

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Whether it’s burns from hot pans and a damaged sink edge, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Central Bedfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Gamlingay

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Gamlingay

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A heat mark or burn

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
