Trusted worktop repair in Gate Foot

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Worktop repair in Gate Foot, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for chips in quartz or granite and scratches and knife marks, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Gate Foot

How much does worktop repair cost in Gate Foot?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gate Foot

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gate Foot use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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