What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Gatcombe
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gatcombe
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
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 can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When to call us in Gatcombe
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips on edges and corners
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
