Worktop repair near Gatton

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

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

Worktop repair at your home in Gatton

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Our technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during installation and chips on edges and corners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gatton

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What affects the price in Gatton

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Gatton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
