Need worktop repair in Gibraltar?

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle worktop repair in Gibraltar

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz, and the jobs we see most are chips on edges and corners and a heat mark or burn.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need worktop repair in Gibraltar?

Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gibraltar. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Gibraltar get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Gibraltar

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Repair or replace in Gibraltar?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
