What affects the price in Gateside
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gateside. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Worktop repair in Gateside, 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. Whether it’s scorch marks from pans and chips caused during installation, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repair or replace: which is better?

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean spills immediately
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
