Trusted worktop repair in Gerrans

Worktop repair in Gerrans without replacing anything

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. If you’re dealing with scratches and knife marks and a chipped quartz edge, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.

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

How to compare quotes

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Gerrans: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Gerrans.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gerrans

For anyone letting property in or around Gerrans, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
