Worktop repair in Gateford

Worktop repair at your home in Gateford

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix a damaged sink edge and a chipped edge, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for Gateford

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Gateford

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Do you need worktop repair in Gateford?

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips on edges and corners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

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