Common questions in Gibbonsdown
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
About our worktop repair in Gibbonsdown
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Whether it’s dents and gouges and knife marks, we can normally put it right, on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gibbonsdown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills immediately
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Dry around the sink and joints
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need worktop repair in Gibbonsdown
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Look out for these signs:
- A chipped edge
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Damage from fitting or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
