Need worktop repair in Gilmorton?

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our worktop repair in Gilmorton

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most often call us about burns from hot pans and chips on edges and corners.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Granite & marble

Work for landlords and builders

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Use a chopping board
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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 burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Common problems we fix in Gilmorton

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped edge
  • Gouges in the surface
