How we handle worktop repair in Gartree

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. We work on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and chips caused during installation.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gartree

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gartree as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Gartree

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Gartree: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Gartree?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE16 postcode.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
